Artist context
About Jonathan Monk
Born
1969
Nationality
British
Jonathan Monk is a British artist and photographer born in 1969 who lives and works in Berlin. Museum listings at MoMA and Tate place his name in major institutional artist indexes, while Getty, VIAF, Library of Congress, Wikidata, and IdRef records provide stable identifiers that help distinguish him from similarly named people. Bibliographic records connect Monk with exhibition catalogues, artist publications, and roles including artist, author, designer, interviewer, curator, and photographer. Collectors may therefore encounter his name on photographic material, publications, exhibition documentation, and objects recorded in auction databases. The collected sources are strong on identity but do not establish a specific artistic movement, a consistent group of subjects, or named bodies of work. Those aspects should be described from documentation attached to an individual object rather than inferred from the artist's name alone.
Photography
Common works and media
Photography is the only artistic medium explicitly supported by the collected authority records. IdRef also links Jonathan Monk with exhibition catalogues and artist publications, although bibliographic material should not automatically be classified as an artwork. The source pack does not reliably establish other recurring media, subjects, editions, or series. Objects offered under his name should therefore be described according to their own materials, format, inscriptions, documentation, and auction-catalogue classification rather than assigned to an unsupported category.
Market and appraisal context
An appraisal of a work associated with Jonathan Monk should begin by confirming the artist's identity and the object's actual medium and type. Photography is documented in authority records, but the available source pack does not show that every auctioned object falls into that category. Relevant public auction records can provide sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when available. Comparisons should be limited to objects that genuinely match the item being assessed. The collected evidence does not supply lot-level information about condition, dimensions, editions, provenance, recurring subjects, or price trends, so those points require examination of the object and its supporting records before a value conclusion is formed.
Auction categories and appraisal factors
Common auction categories
- Photography
Value drivers
- Confirmation that the object is correctly attributed to the British artist Jonathan Monk born in 1969
- The object's documented medium and work type, including whether it is photographic
- Comparison with public auction records listed for the same artist, including relevant sale dates and realized prices when available
Appraisal caveats
- The collected material does not provide object-level auction details sufficient to characterize edition sizes, condition patterns, provenance, dimensions, recurring subjects, or price trends.
- Photographer is an authority-record role, but the source pack does not establish that photography represents every work offered under the artist's name.
- Auction results should be compared only after confirming that the records concern this Jonathan Monk and a genuinely comparable type of object.
